BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to new organic compounds and, more particularly, is concerned with novel 3-(α-substituted-benzyl)-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a][1,3]diazacyclan-3-ols which may be represented by the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein Q is a divalent moiety selected from the group consisting of those of the formulae: ##STR2## wherein n is the integer 1, 2 or 3; R₁ is hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, bromo, alkyl having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms or alkoxy having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R₂ is hydrogen or the moiety ##STR3## wherein R₁ is as hereinbefore defined; R₃ is hydrogen, alkyl having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms or a moiety selected from the group consisting of those of the formulae: ##STR4## wherein R₁ and R₂ are as hereinbefore defined. The invention also includes novel compositions of matter containing the above-defined compounds useful as diuretics and the method of enhancing the excretion of sodium ions in mammals therewith.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The novel compounds of the present invention are generally obtainable as white to pale yellow crystalline materials having characteristic melting points and absorption spectra and which may be purified by recrystallization from common organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and the like. They are appreciably soluble in non-polar organic solvents such as toluene, carbon tetrachloride, and the like but are relatively insoluble in water. The organic bases of this invention form non-toxic acid-addition salts with a variety of pharmacologically acceptable organic and inorganic salt-forming reagents. Thus, acid-addition salts, formed by admixture of the organic free base with one or two equivalents of an acid, suitably in a neutral solvent, are formed with such acids as sulfuric, phosphoric, hydrochloric, hydriodic, sulfamic, citric, lactic, fumaric, succinic, tartaric, acetic, benzoic, gluconic, ascorbic, and the like. The acid-addition salts are relatively insoluble in non-polar organic solvents such as diethyl ether, benzene, toluene, and the like but are appreciably soluble in water. For purposes of this invention, the free bases are equivalent to their non-toxic acid-addition salts.

The novel compounds of the present invention may be readily prepared as set forth in the following reaction scheme: ##STR5## wherein R₁, R₂, R₃ and Q are as hereinabove defined. In accordance with this reaction scheme, a 1-aryl-2-alkanone (1) is dissolved in acetic acid and treated with about one equivalent of bromine at 60°-70° C., giving the bromo-1-aryl-2-alkanone (2). This alkanone (2) is isolated and reacted with cyclic thiourea (3) to give the product (4). If chlorine is used in place of bromine, the hydrochloride salt is obtained.

In general terms, the process of step one may be carried out in acetic acid or an equivalent at 50°-80° C. for 30 minutes to 4 hours. Suitable solvents for the second step include acetone, methylethylketone, chloroform, benzene, toluene and the like and the reaction may range from 25°-60° C. for one to 72 hours. Procedures for the preparation of the 1-aryl-2-alkanones (1) are well known and may be found in such references as: M. J. Hatch and D. J. Cram, J.A.C.S., 75, 38 (1953); E. J. Cragoe, Jr., A. M. Pietruszkiewicz and C. M. Robb, J. Org. Chem., 23, 971 (1958); E. M. Schultz, U.S. Pat. No. 2,703,329. It is also possible to prepare the halo-1-aryl-2-alkanone derivatives (2) by other methods, for example, the Arndt-Eistert synthesis of an acid chloride with diazomethane and hydrobromic or hydrochloric acid [G. W. Wheland, (Advanced Organic Chemistry), John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 2nd Edition, P. 462 (1948)] .

Alternatively, the compounds of Formula (4) may be prepared by treating a compound of the structure ##STR6## with compounds of the general structure ##STR7## where X is a halogen other than fluorine, and R₁, R₂ and R₃ are as indicated above. The process is carried out by the action of a compound of the structure (6a) or (6b) upon a compound of structure (5) in an inert solvent such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and the like, at temperatures ranging from 0° to 40° C., preferably at room temperature, for a period of 3 to 18 hours, and under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) atmosphere. After hydrolysis of the intermediate adducts, the compounds of structure (4) are readily isolated as the free bases, which can then be converted to the desired acid addition salts.

The compounds of formula (4) can also be depicted in the equivalent tautomeric structure, ##STR8## but infra-red spectral analysis of the crystalline products indicates that structure (4) is the predominant, if not the sole, configuration present. For purposes of convenience, structure (4) will be employed, but it is to be understood that all compounds of structures (4) and (7), as well as their optical isomers are in the purview of this application.

These new compounds possess diuretic activity in warm-blooded animals as established when tested by the method of P. S. Chan and D. Poorvin, Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1 (6), 817-830 (1979), "Sequential Method for Combined Screening Antihypertensive and Diuretic Agents in the Same Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat." Basically this test uses male, 8 week old, spontaneously hypertensive rats of the Okamoto strain weighing about 300 g. One rat is dosed by gavage with the test compound at 100 mg./kg. of body weight with 0.9% sodium chloride loading at 25 ml./kg. of body weight at zero hour. The test compound is suspended in 2% preboiled starch at 50 mg./kg. The rat is placed in a metabolism cage and the 0-5 hour urine is collected. The urinary sodium, potassium and chloride content are determined by the Technicon Autoanalyzer; method N-20 for sodium and potassium and method N-5b for chloride. At the end of the fifth hour, the rat is placed in a regular animal cage and provided with water ad libitum. A second identical dose of the test compound is given by gavage, without sodium chloride loading, at the 24th hour. Four hours later, the rat is restrained in a supine position with elastic tapes. The femoral area is locally anesthetized by subcutaneous infiltration of 2% lidocaine. The iliac artery is isolated and punctured with a 26 gauge thin wall needle which is connected to a Statham P23Db pressure transducer-Beckman Dynograph recorder system for monitoring blood pressure. The blood pressure is recorded for 15 minutes or until it is stabilized. Based on the data obtained and using the three-stage "sequential probability ration test", statistical method, the criteria for determining if a test compound is considered active are as follows:

Test I: If the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) ≦116 and/or the urinary sodium is ≧1.21 mEq the compound is active. If the MABP is between 117-146 and/or the urinary sodium is between 1.21-0.93, a second rat is tested.

Test II: If the average MABP of the two rats is <122 and/or the average urinary sodium of the two rats is >1.16 mEq, the compound is considered active. If the MABP is between 123-137 and/or the average urinary sodium is between 1.16-1.01, a third rat is tested.

Test III: If the average MABP of the three rats is ≦128 and/or the average urinary sodium is ≧1.10, the compound is active.

The results of these tests on representative compounds of the present invention appear in Table I.

The active compounds of the present invention are effective as diuretics in warm-blooded animals when administered in amounts ranging from about 5 mg. to about 200 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day. A preferred dosage regimen for optimum results would be from about 5 mg. to about 50 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day, and such dosage units are employed that a total of from about 350 mg. to about 3.5 g. of the active compound for a subject of about 70 kg. of body weight are administered in a 24 hour period. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. A decided practical advantage is that those active compounds may be administered in any convenient manner such as by the oral, intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes.

The active compounds may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or they may be compressed into tablets, or they may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, these active compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2% to about 60% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions or preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains between about 5 and and 200 mg. of active compound.

The tablets, troches, pills, capsules and the like may also contain the following: A binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin may be added or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen or cherry flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially non-toxic in the amounts used. In addition, these active compounds may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and formulations.

These active compounds may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds as a free base or pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g. glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.

The intermediate arylketones [formula (1)] are prepared essentially as described by Cragoe, et al., vide supra, as illustrated in Example 1.

EXAMPLE 1 1-(m-Fluorophenyl)-1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-propanone

A solution of 16.5 g. of m-fluorophenyl-2-propanone [Z. Eckstein and J. Plenkiewicz, Rocznik. Chem., 37, 907 (1963)] in 70 ml. of fluorobenzene is cooled and stirred as 5.5 ml. of bromine are added dropwise. Argon gas is bubbled through the mixture for one hour. The solution is then added dropwise to a mixture of 29.6 g. of aluminum chloride and 70 ml. of fluorobenzene, stirred at 80°-90° C. Stirring is continued at this temperature for one hour then the mixture is poured into ice and 45 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Toluene is added, the organic layer is separated, washed with dilute sodium hydroxide and then water and distilled, giving the desired product as a liquid, b.p. 106°-112° C./0.15 mm.

When the appropriate 1-aryl-2-alkanone is reacted with a benzene derivative (as reagent and solvent) by the procedure described in Example 1, the intermediates Examples 2-21 (listed in tabular form) are derived.

EXAMPLE 22 3-Diphenylmethyl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydrothiazolo[3,2-a][1,3]diazepin-3-ol hydrobromide

A solution of 4.20 g. of 1,1-diphenyl-2-propanone in 25 ml. of acetic acid is heated at 60°-70° C. and 1.0 ml. of bromine in 8 ml. of acetic acid is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is held at 60°-70° C. for one hour and then poured into ice. Toluene is added. The toluene layer is separated, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to obtain 1-bromo-3,3-diphenyl-2-propanone.

The 1-bromo-3,3-diphenyl-2-propanone is dissolved in 30 ml. of acetone and added to a boiling mixture of 1.82 g. of hexahydro-2H-1,3-diazepine-2-thione in 100 ml. of acetone. This mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 24 hours, then the product is collected by filtration, washed with acetone and dried in vacuo at 50° C., giving the product as a solid, m.p. 194°-195° C. (dec.).

When the procedure of Example 22 is carried out using, instead of 1,1-diphenyl-2-propanone, the intermediate diarylketones of Examples 1-21, the final products of Examples 23-39 (listed in tabular form) are derived.

EXAMPLE 61 3-Diphenylmethyl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-6,6-dimethyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3-ol hydrobromide

A 2.1 g. portion of 1,1-diphenyl-2-propanone is converted to 1-bromo-3,3-diphenyl-2-propanone as described in Example 22. This 1-bromo-3,3-diphenyl-2-propanone is dissolved in 15 ml. of acetone and added to a boiling mixture of 1.0 g. of tetrahydro-5,5-dimethyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethione in 50 ml. of acetone. The mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 24 hours and the resulting solid is collected by filtration, giving the desired product, m.p. 259°-261° C.

When the procedure of Example 61 is carried out using, instead of 1,1-diphenyl-2-propanone, the intermediate diarylketones of Examples 1-21, the final products of Examples 62-78 (listed in tabular form) are derived.

EXAMPLE 93 1-Bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone

The synthesis of the requisite 1,3-diaryl-2-propanones is readily accomplished by a variety of synthetic procedures (see "Synthetic Organic Chemistry", R. B. Wagner and H. D. Zook, John Wiley and Sons [publisher], New York, N.Y., 1953). They are also conveniently obtained as a high boiling residue in the preparation of 1-aryl-2-propanones ##STR18##

A solution of 8.4 grams of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone in 80 ml. of methylene chloride is stirred as a solution of 1.5 ml. of bromine in 30 ml. of methylene chloride is added dropwise. The loss of bromine coloration in the reaction solution is very rapid. The methylene chloride is then removed in vacuo (bath temperature 40° C.), and the residual 1-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-propanone is utilized directly in subsequent chemical reactions.

Additional 1,3-diaryl-2-propanones (Examples 94-99), prepared by the procedure cited in Example 93, are listed in tabular form. They are converted to their bromo derivatives by the same procedure as described in Example 93.
